Theory Briefing

  • Malaysia renewed its contract with deep-sea firm Ocean Infinity, keeping the MH370 search alive more than a decade after the plane vanished.
  • Ocean Infinity uses advanced autonomous underwater vehicles, making searches possible in depths and terrain that defeated earlier efforts.
  • The extension signals Malaysian authorities still believe the wreck lies within a findable zone, despite years of unsuccessful sweeps.
  • No new debris or flight data has been publicly cited as the trigger for the renewed agreement.
